Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 444: Chapter 246: Ominous Sign, Golden Core Human Tribulation

Boom~~

At this moment, Jiang Fan moved his mind and opened the virtual panel on his body.

[Profession: Tier Two High-Grade Talisman Master (99%)]

Without a doubt, over the past half year, his cultivation has progressed rapidly.

All capabilities have significantly improved.

Just a step away, and he could step into the Golden Core Realm.

Once he becomes a Golden Core Zhenren, both his strength and status would undergo a cataclysmic change, incomparable to the past.

”Next is how to advance to the Golden Core.”

”To advance to the Golden Core, three barriers need to be overcome.”

”They are the Spiritual Power Barrier, Spiritual Sense Barrier, and Heart Demon Barrier.”

”Only by overcoming the three barriers can the Golden Core be condensed and progress further.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fist.

Although he has full confidence in himself, able to form the core autonomously even without external assistance.

He can easily pass the three barriers of core formation.

But fear of unknown accidents remains.

Humans only have one life, so naturally, he needs to make complete preparations.

Thinking of this, he activated the Fortune-Telling Talisman to see whether his upcoming core formation would be auspicious or ominous to prepare in advance.

Boom~~

At this moment, the Fortune-Telling Talisman began to tremble, instantly sending a message deep into his sea of consciousness.

”On the brink of core formation, human tribulation is imminent; fortune and misfortune coexist, hinging on a moment.”

”Remain in Nameless Valley for core formation, encounter an attack five days afterward at noon, ominous.”

”Three days afterward at noon, head thirty miles southeast to Ox Head Mountain for a Sixth-Grade Opportunity, resolving hidden danger, auspicious.”

”Leave Nameless Valley for core formation elsewhere, gain nothing with no outcome.”

Sensing this message, Jiang Fan’s eyes gleamed sharply.

He initially assumed his core formation would be infallible, but didn’t expect to encounter tribulation.

At this point, he recalled some core formation records from the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Besides the three barriers, there’s actually a fourth barrier—human tribulation.

It’s said that when Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators form their cores, they might invoke heavenly tribulation Qi, leading to human tribulation.

Sometimes human tribulation is even more perilous than heart demon tribulation.

If not properly prepared, it could lead to life extinction.

Therefore, some sect’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators choose to form their cores within the sect.

With the sect’s protection, human tribulation can’t affect them, eliminating a source of disaster.

Yet, if forming the core outside, they might provoke human tribulation.

Unexpectedly, despite being in Nameless Valley with the protection of a Tier Three Array, he still would face human tribulation. Why is this?!

Truthfully, Jiang Fan felt a bit fortunate.

Thankfully, he activated the Fortune-Telling Talisman in advance to foresee the fortune or misfortune of his core formation.

Otherwise, he might truly encounter human tribulation, thereby bringing great risk to core formation.

”It seems that to successfully form the core, it’s necessary to resolve human tribulation in advance.”

”This way, I can ensure infallibility.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fist.

According to the information from the Fortune-Telling Talisman, he needs to go to Ox Head Mountain three days later to preemptively resolve the hidden danger causing future human tribulation.

Leaving Nameless Valley is impossible.

If he leaves, he’s unsure where to find a Tier Three Spirit Vein.

Leaving Nameless Valley is okay only if absolutely necessary.

Right now, things haven’t become that dire.

As long as the hidden danger is resolved in advance, it’s not a major issue.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan calmed down and began preparing for core formation.

...

Three days later.

Jiang Fan mentioned it to Su Weiwei before leaving Nameless Valley.

Following the instructions from the Fortune-Telling Talisman, he arrived at Ox Head Mountain at noon.

The mountain resembled the shape of an ox’s head.

But it seemed ordinary.

It didn’t look like a place with Sixth-Grade Opportunity.

However, he knew the Fortune-Telling Talisman wouldn’t be wrong; he needed to quietly wait.

He concealed his breath, akin to a stone, merging with his surroundings.

Boom~~

Not long after, two figures suddenly flew over in the distance.

One was surrounded by intense demonic Qi, evidently a Golden Core Demon Cultivator with a cultivation around first-layer Golden Core.

The other was a Sword Cultivator, whose cultivation seemed to be around Foundation Establishment Perfection, but he looked miserable, seemingly captured by the Golden Core Demon Cultivator and held hostage.

”Cen Bai Rui, you say your master’s secret abode might be nearby?”

”You better not fool me.”

”Otherwise, I will definitely make you wish for death.”

The Golden Core Demon Cultivator glared at the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, exuding undisguised killing intent, sending chills down one’s spine.
